Well, those of us who are or have been married are, of course, immune to such things. The rest, when they want to reply to a post made by a girl, use one of us as an intermediary. It's all very junior high, honestly.
(Now Mike, would you like me to pass BCWC a note? Well, okay, but just this once.)

The rest, when they want to reply to a post made by a girl, use one of us as an intermediary. Bah, and might I add, humbug to that. I'm quite confident in my tested method of winning the ladies over with my awkwardness and social ineptitude. (And hey, if you ever start feeling bad about it, just remind yourself that nerds get nervous when girls post. We're weird like that.) -D LOL. Well okay. But....what about the other girls in the forum(s)? The phrasing here presents the potential for a joke that could so get me in trouble; to the point that I'm not even sure who with. Happily, I can't quite get the architecture worked out, so. . .fiasco averted! As to the actual question, let me don my professor's spectacles and see if I can't shed some light. As I see it, the fundamental error--no, that's too harsh; let's say "deviation"--that you have made, BCWC, is that in the process of creating your profile, you opted for an avatar that is not only a) an attractive woman, but also b) really, actually you. Separately, these elements are both quite common. However, in combination, they create an internet rarity of such magnitude that it barely qualifies for existence. AlthoughhavingsaidthatI'msurethatitiscompletelyfeasibleforeverywomanonthisforum!! All day, every day, all the time!! Ha ha ha ha. . .eheh. . .heeehhh. . . I fear I may be doomed. Anyway, that's my theory. It's the avatar that does it. It pokes a little eye-hole in the veil of anonymity, and makes the nerds flee in terror. "But Kaleb," you say, "Now that you're a Mutant, everyone can peruse your Bio pics* see what you look like, and yet they're still really chatty and responsive, to the point that sometimes you have to gently yet firmly send them away in tears just to get some time alone!" Ah, an astute observation, BCWC whose mouth I am putting words into! And the answer is quite simple: Beauty or lack thereof is the determining factor, and by that standard, if I am not the most approachable person alive, I am at least in the top forty. That is why everyone--man and woman, nerd and not--finds me so respondable-to. By which I of course mean that I've killed thousands of threads; usually with a post just like this one. *I'm actually trying at present to come up with the perfect descriptor for the same. I'm torn between Lesbian Impersonator and Pallid Dough Golem. |

Well in that case would you pass a note for me asking if Phil was serious about clicking his name? I don't want to do something like that 'til I know if he just likes me or likes me likes me.  *kidding, by the way. Please don't press harassment charges, Phil* |

You know, I don't even know where to begin with your post, Kaleb. I found all of it very funny, and some of it quite complimentary (it's the latter that I'm having the most difficulty replying to in a way that doesn't come off completely narcissistic or strange. Drat. You have foiled my powers of sarcasm...what strange beast be this?)

But....yeah I don't get the joke anyway. Although I would've known it was a joke by the terrible l33t *considers looking the joke up online in case the answer lies within the Great Hall of Wisdom that is the Net, but gets some chips and salsa instead* |

I'm getting a little tired of brailling my way through the staff refrigerator at lunch time. Drew's Balrog 'n swiss sandwich almost took my freakin' arm off. And how'd you get into my office anyway? |

Colonial-era brass lock, Sue. Almost any skeleton key will fit it.
And you may have your spectacles back, just as soon as I'm finished decoding the clues left behind by the Freemasons.
